the hybrid accord resembles the cross tour....why oh why.

 

Decent overall designs, but the plug-in version looks like a circus car. Absolutely horrible.

 

anyone else see a little bit of baby new Lexus LS / spindlish grill in this pic? looks absolutely great.

thanks for that, i lol'ed

 

looks like uglier GS to me, like Cheaper American edition.

but for the class it looks ok, and interior is great.

 

Although the appearance is derivative of the Genesis and other cars in its class, I think this is what Honda should have been doing all along with the Accord. It's a step in the right direction, for once.

The Civic, however, is another story.

 

Yeah the Hondai accord looks fine there and it doesn't make the last gen look dated. It's a nice safe design.

 

I really like the Sport model...the coupe and the hybrid, not so much.

 

Seems
Base -184 hp
Sport -189 hp (with no suspension changes like the Camry se)
V-6 - 278hp (34 mpg highway and 25 average)

Also seems the Honda fan "omg earth dreams" is rated below the Altima mpg , 36 to 38 mpg highway. So still "dreams"

 

Please tell me they at least have a 6sp automatic this time around, it's really hard to get excited about Honda these days, even Kia's have more soul. I was looking at the 2nd gen TSX and was shocked to see they're still offering an old 5sp automatic tranny in it...even an IS250 gets better mpg than their 4 cylinder TSX...truly sad, puzzles me that people still purchase their lackluster products.

 

The plug-in wheels need to die die die.


The sedan on the other hand... looks GREAT. Honda didn't beat it too hard with the ugly stick this time around. I can't believe there is such a thing called a "good looking Honda" in 2012.

 

There are vids out there now of the new Honda, and the interior is top-notch in its class. This thing is going to sell.

The battle b/t the Camry v. Accord is going to heat up real soon. Can't wait to see the sale numbers in October/November/December. Love that the competition is forcing every automaker to bring the heat.

Had Honda does to the Accord what it did to the Civic, it would have been a wrap.

Plus, more here.
I just noticed, the V6 does not get direct injection. No wonder it's only a 7 HP jump.
